The short version
- Only Rev has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
- Each has a real cost: Rev human transcription at 1.99 US dollars a minute means roughly 120 dollars an hour of audio, so a long-form interview series costs more in transcription than most teams assume before they run the arithmetic.; Trint the Starter plan caps at seven files a month with no rollover, which a working journalist exhausts in a fortnight, so the advertised entry price is not the price most buyers will actually pay.
- They diverge on capability: Rev covers Human transcription, Trint covers Bound transcript editor.
- Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

What people use each for
The jobs each tool is most often brought in to do.
Rev
- A law firm that needs a deposition transcript in a court-acceptable page format with a fixed turnaround and a published per-page price it can bill to a matter.not Trint
- A documentary or podcast producer costing a project in advance, because human transcription at a published per-minute rate makes the transcription line item a known number.not Trint
- A broadcaster needing compliant human captions rather than machine captions, where accuracy is a regulatory requirement and not a convenience.not Trint
- A team with high AI volume and occasional high-stakes files, using the subscription for the bulk and paying the discounted human rate only where accuracy matters.not Trint
Trint
- A newsroom where three reporters and a producer work the same long interview to a deadline and need to see each other's highlights rather than passing files around.not Rev
- A video desk cutting a package from an interview, pushing selected transcript segments straight into Premiere Pro instead of scrubbing a timeline for quotes.not Rev
- An investigations team building a searchable archive of interviews so a name mentioned two years ago surfaces when it becomes relevant.not Rev
- A broadcaster producing subtitles in several languages from the same source transcript with speaker labels preserved.not Rev
Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Rev
- Human transcription at 1.99 US dollars a minute means roughly 120 dollars an hour of audio, so a long-form interview series costs more in transcription than most teams assume before they run the arithmetic.
- AI minutes are allocated per seat per month and do not roll over, so bursty workloads, which is how most media production actually behaves, waste allowance in quiet months and run out in busy ones.
- The product direction has moved towards legal and investigative use, so a newsroom or media buyer is choosing a tool whose roadmap priority sits elsewhere.
- Foreign-language subtitles are priced from 6.49 to 15.99 US dollars per minute, an order of magnitude above transcription, which makes multi-language localisation of any volume of video expensive enough to change the plan.
- Human turnaround is stated in hours rather than guaranteed contractually on the published plans, so a hard broadcast or filing deadline needs an agreement beyond the standard terms.
Trint
- The Starter plan caps at seven files a month with no rollover, which a working journalist exhausts in a fortnight, so the advertised entry price is not the price most buyers will actually pay.
- It is priced per seat at professional software levels, so giving every reporter in a mid-sized newsroom a licence is a substantial annual line item compared with a general transcription tool.
- Transcription accuracy on poor field audio, crowded rooms, phone lines and heavy accents still requires correction, and the correction time is the real cost rather than the subscription.
- Single sign-on, SCIM, audit logs and API access are gated to a quoted Enterprise tier, so any organisation with an identity policy cannot use the published pricing at all.
- The tooling is optimised for editorial workflow rather than raw volume, so a team that mainly needs a lot of cheap transcripts and no collaboration is paying for a surface it will not use.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages
Rev: How much is human transcription?
1.99 US dollars per minute with a stated accuracy target above 99 per cent, typically returned within 12 hours. Subscribers get 10 to 15 per cent off.
Trint: What is the file limit on the entry plan?
Seven files per month with no rollover. Most working journalists need the Advanced plan with unlimited files.
Rev: Is there a free tier?
Yes, 45 AI minutes per month and up to 5 files analysed, with no human transcription included.
Trint: Does it integrate with a video edit?
Yes, through an Adobe Premiere Pro panel that pushes selected transcript segments into the timeline.
Rev: Do unused AI minutes roll over?
No. The allowance is per seat per month and resets, which penalises irregular workloads.
Trint: Do I need Enterprise for single sign-on?
Yes. SAML, SCIM, audit logs and API access are all on the quoted Enterprise tier.
Rev: Can it do subtitles in other languages?
Yes, across seventeen languages, priced from 6.49 to 15.99 US dollars per minute, considerably more than transcription.
Trint: How accurate is it?
Good on clean studio and conference audio, noticeably weaker on noisy field recordings, phone lines and strong accents, where correction time dominates.
Rev: Is Rev still a good choice for newsrooms?
It works, but the subscription tiers are now positioned around legal and investigative workflows, so a newsroom should compare it against a tool built specifically for journalism.
Trint: Is annual billing much cheaper?
Yes, roughly a third off. Starter falls from around 80 to 52 US dollars and Advanced from around 100 to 60 per seat per month.
